“…HOA has multifaceted negative impact on persons, and this study, like others, shows that patients carry a significant burden in terms of disability, pain and impaired quality of life 18–21. Our study suggests that many patients with HOA carry an additional burden related to their disease that is largely ignored by physicians—that of aesthetic discomfort.…”

“…However, in a study comparing the overall impact of the disease in HOA and RA, the HRQL was found to be similar between the two patient groups, and HOA patients reported worse scores in pain measures and fibromyalgia-like symptoms (32). Further, in a recent literature review, the authors conclude that HOA seems to have almost as great an impact as RA on HRQL (33). The results from our study therefore point to the need for early diagnosis in concert with comprehensive disease management strategies, including HOA-specific patient education to support effective self-management.…”

People with HOA use a wide variety of self-management strategies to support performance of daily activities, in which use of assistive devices and activity adaptation are the most frequently reported strategies. Patient-recommended self-management strategies should be included in written information material and patient education programmes, which should be developed in cooperation with patient representatives and made available for patients soon after they are diagnosed.

“…Rheumatoid arthritis and hand osteoarthritis cause hand pain, muscle weakness, joint swelling, stiffness and deformity and reduce grip strength, range of motion and hand function. These effects reduce ability to perform daily activities, work and leisure, causing frustration and distress [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Reducing hand symptoms and maintaining hand function are important rehabilitation aims.…”

1The effects of compression gloves on hand symptoms and hand function in rheumatoid arthritis and hand osteoarthritis: a systematic review. Review methods: Methodological quality of identified trials was evaluated using the PEDro scale by three independent assessors. Effects were summarized descriptively.Results: Four trials (n=8-24; total n=74), comparing night wear of full-length finger compression gloves with placebo gloves, were assessed. Three were of moderate (PEDro score 4-5) and one low (score 3) methodological quality. Effect sizes or standardized mean differences could not be calculated to compare trials due to poor data reporting. In rheumatoid arthritis, finger joint swelling was significantly reduced, but results for pain and stiffness were inconclusive and no differences in grip strength and dexterity were identified. One study reported similar effects in pain, stiffness and finger joint swelling from both compression and thermal placebo gloves. Only one study evaluated gloves in hand osteoarthritis (n=5) with no differences.Conclusions: All the trials identified were small with a high risk of Type I and II errors. Evidence for the effectiveness of compression gloves worn at night is inconclusive in rheumatoid arthritis and hand osteoarthritis. Systematic review compression gloves in arthritis 3Clinical Message: Evidence for compression gloves' effects on hand symptoms and function in rheumatoid arthritis and hand osteoarthritis is inconclusive. Trials to date are small and of moderate or low methodological quality.
